The Pongal festival has begun early in Tamil Nadu with the releases of much-hyped Vijay's Jilla and Ajith Kumar's Veeram. The two star's films have hit the screen today and with a lot of fans catching up with early morning show, here is their first report on the two films.

The response to Jilla and Veeram have been really positive. Both the films are releasing in a good number of screens. Jilla will be shown in over 1,000 screens worldwide and Veeram is releasing in more than 900 screens. Response to advance booking for both the films has been fantastic.

we can accept failurevijay ahs given maximum hitsbut fact is ur one comment does not make the film failure see all reviews thru worldi saw the movie alsofilm is class mass commercial entertainer please accept vijay as superstarplease shut up and get out

I AM NEITHER A AJITH NOR A VIJAY'S FAN.I SAW VEERAM FIRST AND THEN JILLA.MY TRUE VERDICT IS VEERAM IS A BLOCKBUSTER AND JILLA A STUPID HORRIBLE MOVIE.VIJAY SHOULD CHOOSE HIS MOVIES LIKE THUPPAKI OR POKKIRI.THIS TIME AJITH HAS WON INCREDIBLY.

Dhananjayan : #Jilla is a total mass entertainer with a deadly combo of Vijay & Mohanlal. Both rocked in the film & enjoyed their screen chemistry true and unfair review it is total mass and class entertainerdont believe ajakfans jealousy comments

ganishyou are ajith fanremark of you suggest you are thal fanatic i am a neutral fanveeram is good i saw and is family entertaineraineryou declare it as megha hit just because you are ajith fan stop it with thati saw jilla alsoi liked it verymuch and the movie is goodsuperb suspense twists and niice gripping movienot asingle minute boring excellent songs nice acting by vijay and mohanlalsuperb family entertaineru are prejudicedwhy u are ctriticising without seeing just be cause you are ajak fansfor your information in us here jill is the firstit has collected thru world 16 cr frost day where as youe egha hit has collected 13 crjill is blockbuster veeram is hit this is correct verdictsorry ganish you have to stomach it

I agree that JILLA has collected 16 cr first day is only beacuse of much screens... You are not a neutral and you are a thalabathy fan... but your opinion will not make jilla as blockbuster... jilla has some ups and downs... but veeram is completely a commercial entertainment and a film of pongal... peoples choice veeram....

If you really agree with VEERAM then you will not tell that JILLA is BB... I think you are a thalabathy fan but his part mass is good but the movie disappointed in 2nd half... In VEERAM everything was good and everyone likes that... Comparing both the films VEERAM rockzzzz....

sorryi am a senior citizen at this age and stage i need not be fan of any onei liked jillai found your criticism is not justifiedlet veeram rockbut i saw both film veeram is not at all extra ordinary but good i liked jilla better i never said that you are wrong i am sure you have not seen jjillajjust like that you are commentingyou have your viewi wanted to correct your attitude i agree to disagree you are not openmindedi found jilla better than veeram all the besti

Dear Ananymous i seen both the films. Jilla is good (not a flop movie) but veeram is something better than jilla. Veeram is a perfect movie. Jilla is tooooo lenghy movie my common comment is Jilla 65/100 and Veeram 75/100.I am danush fan.

Most of the anonymous in this forum are vijay fans, by this they are trying to promote JILLA.. but jilla 2nd half is boring and this news reached everywhere... so the good movie of PONGAL is VEERAM... THALA THALATHAN.... MASS MASSUTHAN...hads of to SIVA for a wonderful movie by the starting of this year....

Jilla - Jilla is a mass family entertainer. With such a huge fan base, Vijay's Jilla has taken a humongous opening. Jilla is a commercial family mass entertainer which caters to all types of audiences. Vijay has huge fans from small children, hardcore fans, women, families, mid aged people. Sice Jilla is a pure mass family entertainer, Jilla is going to collect huge money in the coming days.

Veeram - Veeram is an average family movie. Ajith has tried a family entertainer from his usual gangster movies like Manakaatha, Billa, Arambham. Ajith has fans in only one section of the people, that is youth. Ajith has no family audience. Ajith fans have given a good opening for veeram.

Both Jilla & Veeram are family movies. With such a huge fan base, family audience fans, and huge number of screens, Vijay's Jilla is clearly the Pongal race winner.

Jilla pure family mass entertainer. Vijay has a very huge royal fan base. Jilla is got a huge opening in Tamilnadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra, Malaysia, Singapore, US, Europe, Germany, Dubai. With such a huge opening and fans in all categies, children, families, youth, Jilla is clearly on the winning side.

Jilla- Which is one of the worst film in his life. No sequense of scenes at all. It's irritating to watch the movie. It's a great debacle for him. It's more of like a cartoon film . Just because he dances well, the movie is full of songs & dances. Vijay is spoiling his career. Better he should stop films & join politics, which is the real intention of him for acting in films.

Jilla- Which is one of thebestt film in his life. sequense of scenes are goodll. It's enjoyable to watch the movie. It's a great victory for him. It's more or less a grand commercial enteratainer. he dances well, the movie is l of nicesongs & dances. Vijay isshining in his career. ajith fans out of jealousy are puttung negative reviews. see all the news papers , websites and they ahve given best rating and better rating than veera,m/ PUBLIC IS GIVING BEST COLLECTIONJILL IS ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER

History is Rewritten...when the Stars of mass joined together..!! Record breakking Jilla...!! intha pongallum nammukku thaan, collectionum nammukkuthaan...!! First Day Gross Collection in Kerala - 2.61CR — reply to mad critic spread rumour that it is not doing well in kerala. sadist tthirundhuda ajakfans going madsame is the case thru world

RB Choudhary (Producer): Mohanlal Sir called me up from Dubai and said he was very happy and thanked me for giving a huge blockbuster after a longtime in Kollywood. Jilla movie has surpassed even the records of an original Malayalam movie and all that in a just a single day collection. I guess being the Kerala distributor Mohanlal has every right to be happy. The movie was released with 'Thara Thapattai' and fireworks in Dubai. It's a very happy pongal for all us and we are very very happy indeed". This movie is Vijay's best opening till date and though I can't say this just with one day collections, I believe that this movie will be the all time record collections for Vijay. REPLY FOR DETRATORS OF VIJAY

simple question to Ajak fans who are spreading rRUMOURS AND BLATANTLIESs about jilla out of jealousybehaving like idiotic foolsone ajak fan has written it is washout in krala and mohanlal is worried but fact is Jilla has rewritten history in keral and has collected 2.16 cr on first day which is recordMOHAN LAL BEING DIDTRIBUTOR IS HAPPIEST MANlike this ajak fans are telling blatant lies and doing lower level worksJILL IS BLOCKBUSTER AND HAS CRUSHED VEERAMjill first day collection is 3.5 cr more than veeram collectionmost pf news papers and websites given positive review for jillawhich is block buster and is going to break recordsNowonwards let ajak fans talk about thier film onlyif they are clever

All of you guys im from A.P. both the flims i watched in DVD in my hoem town kurnool dist. To say you frankly Veeram is routine movie iin A.P. its all mixing up of some telugu commercial flims, but where as coming to Jilla its what different movie. Guys in A.P. all pawankalyan fans loves Vijay. Another news Pawankalyan wants to remake Veeram and Jilla movie wants to reamke Megastar Chiranjeevi and his son Ramcharan. Finally i said if Jilla reamkes in A.P. its defenitely block buster

:D :D Plz dnt make laugh me :D Jillla is the block buster :D :D I am thinking y idiotic copy cat vijay have same types of fans.! :D i have lost 125rs/- by seeing ilaya-king kong's jilla movie :D :( The wastest movie i have watch ever.! Basically i am from kerala.. i am a die-hard fan of lalettan(Mohan lal) also. Now am thinking y lalettan acted in this wastest movie.! Is it lalettan acted in this movie with out reading script? Try to think if lalettsn not in this foolish film, what happend to jilla in 'kerala'? :D The 'utter flop'.! :D

Now... Take Thala's 'Veeram' movie.! Itz 'Mass & Class'. I can firmely say that 'Ajith' is the only one actor who following his own way of actng.. Other tamil heros have same style likke Rajni sir.! And vijay fighting with 'Rubber hand' :D Have any one see 'Axhakiya tamil makan'? :D :D Super man 'vijay sir' kicking tractor's tyre kicking with his incredable 'pencil leg' :D :D Oh my god 'enna kodumayada ith' :D :D Now i agreed both Jilla & Veeram haven't strong plot.. But take Ajith and Vijay's film's quality..Thala earlier acted with our malayalam's action super star 'Sureshettan(Suresh gopi) in 'Dheena'..It was a'Bblock buster'. A.r.murugadoss& Thala also give him(Suresh gopi) a respected role naming 'Aadhi kesavan'.. They respected him(suresh gopi) with his age & seniority. That is 'Thala'. But take jilla.! Here 'Mohan lal' abusing several time by idiotic thalapathy vijay :p Didn't take as a senior star or as aged man.! The idiotic director and idiotic actor present a 'Wastest tamil movie' ever :D :p One thing i still didn't understanding, how get ' & 'Dr' & fans for vijay with out recieving any award or strongest role.! :p Quet imparising, huh? :D
